Great motel lovely retro rooms and a great front bench/bar to sit at and watch the world go by. Close to the beach and walking to town only took about 15 minutes. Would definitely stay there again.

Great stay.

Very good stay and easy walk to beach. Check in and out simple and easy. Simple room but met our needs. Clean room and comfortable bed. Be nice if there was a microwave in the room but had a fridge, kettle, toaster and some cutlery. A larger kitchen was available in the complex. No laundry in site. Pleasant surprise in that a small caravan on site opens in morning to sell coffee and pastries. Easy parking. Will stay there again.

Mixed feelings. Beautifully styled, spotlessly clean but check in & info via app. Missed the personal touch. Though there was someone around in reception if need at times. Wasn’t prepared for how noisy it would be. Could have been unlucky but it almost felt like the room was shared with next door. Second night much quieter which made a huge difference. Motel is at the top of the beach and a nice walk into town, Beach is lovely and Kingscliffe a lovely little town.

Amazing motel. A great find. Super clean, 24hr kitchen, little reception area where you can buy beer/mixers and snacks. Coffee cart outside in the morning. Nice little pool too. Would definitely return.

Best motel ever!!

Blue Water is one of the best motels I've ever stayed at. Lots of quirky fun decor items, and modern practical ideas. The whole makeover of the motel is fresh, fun and totally welcoming. Pool is great too. Has a coffee van at front of property that opens early ....... good coffee and fresh pastries daily. We will definitely stay here again but will make it at least two nights next time. Looking forward to enjoying the whole vibe in the near future. 💫💫

The motel room is very retro, funky, beachy, just as the pictures show. It has been remodelled and everything feels fresh. The swing out window with bar seating is very nice. The motel is a short walk from a beautiful beach. Really lovely spot for our overnight stay!

I booked a last minute stay at the property and it was great. Being a ground floor room which I was able to park near made it a lot easier travelling solo with kids. Having the coffee van on site was really convenient too. It’s pretty far from the main Kingscliff shops and cafes but it’s still a very nice area close to the beach and very walkable. The communal kitchen was very handy. I would definitely stay here again and it’s great knowing that pooches are welcome too!

Nice Theme, but Walls Are Too Thin

We stayed at Blue Water Motel and, given the high rates, expected a decent motel experience rather than 5-star luxury. The price seemed to reflect demand rather than quality, possibly due to nearby Mantra or Peppers on Salt Beach being booked out. The motel has a charming theme, with friendly staff and an easy check-in, even after hours. We liked the thoughtful decor touches and the big, fully opening window that created a nice bar-like vibe. The campervan serving breakfast was also a nice addition. However, our stay was marred by several issues. The mattresses were old and saggy, making for an uncomfortable night's sleep. The air conditioning, placed directly above the bed, meant we either had to endure stale air or have cold air blowing on us. The worst issue was the lack of soundproofing; we could hear everything from our neighbors, from late-night TV and partying to morning chats, which meant no sleep for us. Overall, we wouldn’t stay here again, even if it means taking an Uber to a more distant hotel if the nearby Kingscliff options are fully booked.
